Federal agent Ethan Burke is sent to the small town of
Wayward Pines, Idaho to search for two other agents that
went there and disappeared. Just as he arrives, though, he
has a violent car accident. When he wakes up later in the
hospital, everyone is rather caring and helpful, but no one
will give him any real answers to his questions. As he
begins his journey in discovering what is going on in this
town, he finds out more than he ever wanted to know.
Ethan is made sheriff of the little town of 461 people and
is privy to knowing most of the secrets this place holds. On
the outside, it is the perfect town. There's an underbelly
to this beast, however, that may just make him wish he had
died in that accident. Even though he is reunited to with
his wife and son, he still cannot seem to make himself happy
in this version of the American Dream. The problem with
Paradise is that, a lot of the time, the price is just too
big to pay.
WAYWARD is the second book in the Wayward Pines
series. It
will grab you and won't let you go, much like the little
town of Wayward Pines. Even though I read this book first
rather than the beginning one, I found it to be very easy to
follow although now I must go backwards and read that first
book.
WAYWARD is a very difficult book to put down because you
simply must keep going to find out what will happen next.
The excitement is at a nail biting level that holds you in
its thrall. As the ending of WAYWARD is actually a lead-in
to the third book in the series, you won't get all of your
questions answered, but there are enough cats out of the bag
that you won't care that nothing is tied up neatly with a
bow. Instead, you will crave having that third book in your
hand as fast as possible because there are more horrific
adventures awaiting Ethan and the residents of Wayward
Pines.
So many times I feel that a book I am reading should be a
movie or television series. In this case, I can happily say
that Wayward Pines is being made into a series to air
later
in 2014. I, for one, will be avidly watching but I must have
the other two books in this series before then. Once you
start getting acquainted with Wayward Pines, you're
going to
feel the same way.
Welcome to Wayward Pines, population 461. Nestled amidst
picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town is a modern-day
Eden...except for the electrified fence and razor wire,
snipers scoping everything 24/7, and the relentless
surveillance tracking each word and gesture.
None of the residents know how they got here. They are told
where to work, how to live, and who to marry. Some believe
they are dead. Others think they are trapped in an
unfathomable experiment. Everyone secretly dreams of
leaving, but those who dare face a terrifying surprise.
Ethan Burke has seen the world beyond. He's sheriff, and
one
of the few who knows the truth. Wayward Pines isn't just
a
town. And what lies on the other side of the fence is a
nightmare beyond anyone's imagining.
